Very cute baby. Glad to hear all is well.

She is so pretty! Congratulations!

P.S. Think we will be having some little peepers hatching between Friday and Sunday of next week.

Pearce can't wait for the little peepers
Informed DH last night...he's like I didn't think we decided on that?! I said well you didn't say no... He's worried b/c the tack/feed area where they will go is still full of junk... But I have a week to figure it all out. I know I can make room for them somewhere....

Anyways today is my birthday and DH wants to get me something...He's been wanting to get me a Kitchen Aid mixer but the one he wants to get me is close to $400! IDK it's hard for me to spend that kind of $ on a "thing" now a critter that's ok... I have my eye on a velveteen lop but DH says no to her being inside....IDK why I want an indoor critter after I kicked my house cats outside 2 years ago (rottan things decided our new home needed them to mark it) .... So I have to wait til we get a hutch/bunny shed built..... I suppose I could be really obnoxious and insist we go see more PD sheep, but again need more shelters and that catch pen. I've also been wanting an incubator but afraid I'd end up with 100's of chicks b/c I would have to keep it ful :lol And then again there's a dexter cow (preg) for sale not too far...but I'm still not sure about a cow. I'd be ok with a mini nubian or nigerian dwarf nanny (but the shelter thing...) Plus I REALLY should focus on my sheep.....

He's taking me out to dinner tomorrow (Red Lobster I HOPE!!!) So hopefully this will be a better birthday than most of the others...last year wasn't bad but with a newborn baby...well it was quiet...ha ha

Happy B-day!

Go for the mixer! I have one..commercial size/grade! I love it! My mom gave it to me for my b-day too! Believe me you can always "wiggle" in more animals but a mixer.... get it while you can!

I wiggle in animals all the time. My DH is always asking What do we have now? We are picking up what? When did you get on a waiting list? .... I think he just got smart enough to say "yes dear" ! In my defense he is the one who started it.. he wanted a few chickens and then he thought a goat would be nice. I protested all of it because I wanted my kennels. So I gave in... and as I remind him... the kennels would have profited us!

Happy B-day.....

I would get the mixer, whip him up some real nice deserts, and then bribe him with them, tell him everything you want while it is still baking and making the house full of aroma.....You know go threw his stomach to get more of what you want, sounds like a win win to me

 

[CocoNUT]

and yet SO true....

 

[promiseacres]

I think you are probably correct.....as he hints about deserts everytime t he mixer comes up....he works so much I could probably get any critter I could fit in my car and it would be a good week before he noticed besides I already got an ok for both a bunny and bottle lamb...though am supposed to wait til stuff is ready...(I am not very patient if u cant tell )

Getting the critters first always makes sure the stuff GETS READY in a timely manner. YEP, I'm a long time married woman... can you tell. See our men use that as a deterant woman just have to come up with ways to "not" deter!
